Some more favorites (and finished finally!)

So, finally, I have finished editing my dear friend Meredith's wedding pictures. I wanted to make sure I did a good job, so I took a long while to finish them. But hopefully the newlyweds will like the finished product. In celebration of finishing, I thought I would post a few more of my favorites, including some shots from their reception. (Did I mention it was one of the most gorgeous receptions I've ever been to? They rented a huge white tent, had it in the middle of a lovely tree-filled park, had a live jazz band, wonderful food, a ring ceremony for family and friends unable to attend the temple ceremony, and lots of happy people.) Also, the bride was formerly a member of the BYU Swing Dance Team, which should tell you how fabulous she looked while dancing with her groom. Those two really cut a rug.

Anyway, enjoy! (I know I did. Love you Merz!)

Love how the lighting makes her almost glow.
Possibly one of my absolute favorites from the whole day. Gorgeous.
I loved being able to catch the "real" moments of the day too. These two are so FUN!
Love the blur action going on in this picture.

Similar to the last picture, but I love how her lips are pursed. I don't know why. And the best skin ever. I really need to ask her what she does to make her skin look so flawless!

Apparently the groom likes to rock climb and so we thought this was a funny pose. Their kids are going to love this picture someday, don't you think?? :)

I loved this moment. I may not have mentioned this, but it was FREEZING on this day, and the bride was not wearing a long dress. She was a trooper. But while we were arranging another group to take some pictures, her Dad stepped over and wrapped her in his arms to warm her up and to give her a hug. I guess I love it because I think the picture is lovely, but I love it more for what it shows about the love between a dad giving up his daughter on her wedding day. It's a moment I'll remember for a long time. :)

This Was Fun!

Thought you'd enjoy seeing some pictures from my latest photo shoot today. Aren't these kids adorable? I love the bright colors and their cute little cheeks. Hope you like the sneak preview Simonie!

More Wedding Jubilee!

Dear Merz,

This is a work of love. And it is still in the process. But here's so you know that I'm still working on your photos.

Love, Jenn


If the video doesn't work, here's a link to the video on YouTube.

p.s. Anyone that is or is not Merz, leave a comment to tell me how awesome the pics are. Best comment gets to be my new best friend for the day. Good luck to all contestants! :)

p.p.s. I decided to make it into a movie (slideshow with music) because I was listening to this song all while editing pictures and it kept making me teary eyed, so I thought it would be fun to put it to the song for everyone to enjoy. You might recognize the song if you've seen the newest Twilight movie. It's called Flightless Bird, American Mouth (I know, strange title) by Iron and Wine. LOVELY!

The Castle :)

So here's my latest photo shoot. My old friend from freshman days at BYU was kind enough to ask me to take her family's pictures. So not only was it fun to see her again and meet her family, but the fact that 1. her little boy is adorable, 2. She and her husband could both be models, and 3. Val also happens to have the most flawless skin I have ever seen, period! made it one of the best photo shoots yet. Her little boy also happens to have as much energy as my daughter Maddy, so it was fun to try and catch him smiling/looking at the camera at all. Val, you will be relieved to know not only did I get one picture of him smiling, I got several!! Hope you enjoy, and your c.d. will be in the mail soon!One of my favorite pics yet. I was as obsessed with his cute little converse shoes as his mom probably was! Can't believe I caught him sitting still long enough for this pic!
Love the leaf in the hair!
He was having a blast, so cute!
Played around with some funky vibey colors. I personally like it!
Dad and son. Aren't they cute?
Mom thinking up songs to make him smile. I have some GREAT photos of the two of you together Val!
This picture makes me laugh. Notice his little hand about to push Dad away? lol!
Lovely scenery and fam!

Another one with some fun modern colors. Tell me what you think!

Help Lee and Jordyn Decide!

So I thought this might be kind of fun. I took Jordyn and Lee's pictures today for their limited Christmas card shoot, and they need to pick a top pick to use in their card. I'll post a few (I went a little overboard actually) and you can vote on the side bar which one you think they should pick. But Jordyn and Lee, the final decision is all up to you! Just let me know which one you like, and I have a couple cute pics that I just want to give you anyway because they were so cute!
